    >> Initial configuration
    
    PHP Notice:  Undefined variable: distver in /tmp/mydnsconfig/install/lib/install.lib.php on line 135
    PHP Notice:  Undefined variable: distid in /tmp/mydnsconfig/install/lib/install.lib.php on line 135
    PHP Notice:  Undefined variable: distbaseid in /tmp/mydnsconfig/install/lib/install.lib.php on line 135
    
    And somewhere i saw something like "unrecognized" or "unsupported Distributive"

    When will it be released for Fedora 11 ?

    I think there might be some problem with your processor, coz i have tried with the same function its supportive, you should update the installer.

    I had a similar problem, or well - the exact same but on Debian Lenny.

    So what I did to get it to work was edit "lib/install.lib.php" and went through the function "get_distname()", copied out the variables for my operating system and inserted them right before the return.

    Code:
    ...
            $distname = 'Debian';
            $distver = 'Lenny/Sid';
            $distid = 'debian40';
            $distbaseid = 'debian';
            swriteln("Operating System: Debian Lenny/Sid or compatible\n");
            return array('name' => $distname, 'version' => $distver, 'id' => $distid, 'baseid' => $distbaseid);
    
    This solved the problem. A possible fix is to update the if-control so that the script can parse my version aswell; 5.0.3.

    Code:
    if(trim(file_get_contents('/etc/debian_version')) == '5.0' || trim(file_get_contents('/etc/debian_version')) == 'lenny/sid') {
    
    Into

    Code:
    if(trim(strstr(file_get_contents('/etc/debian_version')),'5.0') || trim(file_get_contents('/etc/debian_version')) == 'lenny/sid') {
    
    Or something..

    Best Regards,
    Timh/Shiwebs.

    fedora 11 solution

    I figured I would post since the question was specifically for Fedora 11, and being a new user of both linux and fedora 11, I wanted to post my solution :D

    Following what shiwebs did..

    in install.lib.php I hit 'ctrl-f' to find Redhat and found the previous 2 installations of Fedora listed. After digging through I think this info is correct, so just copy and paste it in after the Fedora release 10 junk and it will work

    if(stristr($content,'Fedora release 11 (Leonidas)')) {
    $distname = 'Fedora';
    $distver = '11';
    $distid = 'fedora9';
    $distbaseid = 'fedora';
    swriteln("Operating System: Fedora 11 or compatible\n");
    }
